{{image\|Kaladin and Shallan in Chasm.png\|side=left\|width=250px\|Weathering the highstorm}} ==== In the ~~Chasm~~Chasms ==== Kaladin joined Dalinar, Adolin, and Shallan on a scouting expedition across the Shattered Plains. As they crossed the plateaus, Kaladin noticed Syl's absence, and his inability to consume Stormlight. Dalinar talked with Kaladin regarding Renarin's inclusion in Bridge Four and how it was affecting him. Then, Kaladin talked to Adolin about a potential attack from Szeth, and how they would defend against him. Eventually, they reached the final scouting plateau, one that has a dead chasmfiend on top. As Kaladin carried a bridge with Bridge Four across a machanical one, a carpenter from Sadeas' camp pulled an emergency lever, which caused the bridge to collapse, sending Kaladin and Shallan to plummet into the chasms. As they fall, Kaladin managed to suck in a small amount of Stormlight, saving his life. Shallan did the same, though neither recongnized the other as Radiant. They wandered the chasms for a while, and begin to argue. Soon, they heard a large scraping noise: a chasmfiend. Shallan began to lure the chasmfiend toward them, so she could get a sketch of a live one, much to Kaladin's dismay. Eventually, they left and continued back towards the warcamps. They bantered for a bit, Kaladin assuming Shallan's life was easy and pampered. Shallan responded saying that [[Lin Davar\|her father]] was abusive, and that her life was far from easy. Syl continued to dissapear at random times and not respond to Kaladin's pleas. Kaladin goes out on an expedition to the Shattered Plains, so that Shallan can sketch a Chasmfiend pupa. A bridge engineer working undercover for Sadeas falls the bridge while Dalinar is crossing in an attempt to assassinate Dalinar, and Kaladin and Shallan both fall into the chasm. Each one has Radiant powers, but neither knows that the other does. They wander the chasms for a while, and begin to argue. Kaladin explains to Shallan that the world must seem wonderful to her, because she is rich and hasn't seen terrible things. She then explains to Kaladin that her [[Lin Davar\|father]] was abusive, and she has experienced things just as terrible as he has. Kaladin asks her how she can be so cheerful, and she said that 'it helps if you are insane'. Later, they are attacked by a chasmfiend. They hide a small fissure, with the chasmfiend swiping towards them. Shallan, desperate for a way out, summons her Shardblade, and gives it to Kaladin as a way to put up a fight against it. While fighting the chasmfiend, Shallan uses [[Lightweaving]] to distract it, but Kaladin is bitten in the leg, severely weakening him. Eventually, he manages to stab it in the head, finally killing it. Neither notice the others' Radiant abilities. Soon, they heard a chasmfiend again, and they hid in a small fissure to escape it. The chasmfiend swiped at them, but was unable to hit them. Kaladin planned to fight it, but Shallan, desperate for a way to escape, gave him her Shardblade to fight with. Kaladin jumped out of the fissure and they both distracted the chasmfiend, Shallan with Lightweavings and Kaladin with a Shardblade. The chasmfiend managed to bite Kaladin in the leg, severely weakening him, though as it came for another attack, Kaladin stabbed it in the heart with the Shardblade, finally killing it. As the highstorm approached, the pair grew gloomy at their imminent death. Kaladin realized they could use Shallan's Blade to cut a cubby out of the chasm wall, which would provide them protection from the storm. Shallan climbed upon the chasmfiend's back and started cutting handholds upward towards the water line. Finally, she finished, and started helping Kaladin climb up, as his leg was weakened. Kaladin barely reached the cubby as the stormwall hit. Kaladin received a vision from the Stormfather, in which he was told he had betrayed Syl, killing her. When the storm ended, the pair found their way back to the warcamps, with Bridge Four there to meet them. Dalinar soon came, and Kaladin saluted him, despite his leg. Dalinar tells everyone to meet the needs of Kaladin, as he was a hero for bringing back Shallan. As a highstorm approaches, Shallan uses her Shardblade to cut out a cubby on the side of the chasm wall. This allows them to safely wait out the storm. Kaladin sees [[spren#Stormstriders\|one large figure, and a smaller deformed one]] come by. He then sees the [[Stormfather]]'s head, who tells him that he has betrayed and killed Syl. When they finally escape the chasms, Bridge Four is there to greet them and celebrate. Kaladin brings the shows off the chasmfiend's gemheart, claiming they killed it, but Shallan says that it was already dead when they was found it. Without Syl, it takes him just as long to heal as an ordinary person. === The Third Ideal (1174) ===
